Protect your pipes from sewer backups

Clogged pipes result in expensive and disgusting sewer backups that can flood your home or business. What is rinsed down the drain or thrown in the toilet often causes these backups.

To help protect your pipes:

Do not flush wipes of any kind down the toilet. Even if it says “flushable,” they will not break down and can damage pipes.
Do not use the toilet as a trashcan, which includes kitty litter, sanitary items, dental floss and other trash.
Pour used cooking oil or grease into a container, seal it and throw it away.
Scrape food into the garbage can and wipe off grease or oil with a paper towel.
